Title: Injection device
Filed: 2006-11-13
Abstract: An injection device comprises housing (112, Figure 1) adapted to receive a syringe (122, Figure 3) having a discharge nozzle, so that the syringe is movable between a retracted position (nozzle contained within housing), and an extended position (nozzle extends from the housing). Trigger 114 is movable from a rest position, retaining drive 120, to an active position, in which it no longer retains drive 120. A releasable locking mechanism 116 is movable from a first position, prevented the trigger from moving into its active position, to a second position that allows trigger movement. The trigger 114 and locking mechanism 116 co-operate such that the trigger 114 moves to 'active' when the releasable locking mechanism is moved to its second position - for example, by pressing sliding sleeve 126 of mechanism 116 against a patient's skin so it moves into housing (112) - whilst pressure is applied to trigger surface 114c.
Patent GB-0710664-D0 (GB)
Title: Apparatus and method for coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
Filed: 2007-06-04
Abstract: A COFDM transmission scheme is provided that offers improved resilience to noise or deleterious effects in the transmission path. The scheme transmits two copies of the data on different symbols or carriers, if one version of the data is lost, the receiver can attempt demodulation of the surviving version. Furthermore, by using a different PAM mapping to encode each copy of the data, signal to noise performance and data rates are equivalent to conventional Quadrature Amplitude Modulation schemes, but with an improvement in SNR when transmission conditions are poor.

IPC: H02G1/08
Filed: 1993-06-03
Abstract: A cable guiding device having at least one cable guiding pipe (conduit) of thermoplastic synthetic material, which cable guiding pipe has a cable guiding duct with a duct inner wall (which is circular in cross-section and has the pipe internal radius r), and which has sliding ribs which are arranged on the duct inner wall and are formed out of the thermoplastic synthetic material of the synthetic material pipe. The sliding ribs run at a predetermined rotation angle a with respect to the internal circumference. Contact surfaces having the rib contact width b result in a cable guiding pipe, which is arranged in a straight line, with a cable (which is to be inserted) at the contact points between the sliding ribs and the cable sheath of the cable which is to be inserted. The sliding ribs run in a corrugated shape and form reversing regions between sections having a constant rotation angle a. The rib contact width b, the number of sliding ribs which are distributed equidistantly over the circumference of the duct inner wall, the pipe internal radius r and the length LK of the rib contact sections between the reversing regions satisfy the equation Ar = 0.16 b<2>z LK. A defines the contact area of the cable sheath at the intersections with the sliding ribs in the rib contact sections. The angle g, measured in radians, of the pitch of the sliding ribs, measured on the duct inner wall, satisfies the equation g = ra/LK.

Title: Drive arrangement for vacuum power circuit breakers, in particular in a tri-polar configuration
Inventor: GRAN WOLFGANG
IPC: H01H33/666
Filed: 1995-03-23
Abstract: In a known drive arrangement in which the switching-off process is initiated after actuation, for example, of an electromagnet by a pin secured to an "off"-trigger shaft as a result of rotation of the latter, thereby enabling a roller of the switching lever to run past the "off"-trigger shaft, the switching-off process occurs when the switching lever has rotated back and the articulated lever systems have moved out of the extended position. However, as the switching lever moves past, it strikes the "off"-trigger shaft. In order to reduce the resultant wear of the "off"-trigger shaft (6) and to actuate the wiping contact (11') associated with the "off"-trigger shaft (6) only during the switching-off process, so as to attain an even greater number of switching cycles, the switching lever (1) has a circular segment (7) with the peripheral surface (9) of which the "off"-trigger shaft (6) is operationally connected in any position of the switching lever (1). Detachably mounted on the "off"-trigger shaft (6) is a trigger bar (11) for connecting and disconnecting a wiping contact (11'). The drive arrangement can also be used for small oil-volume power circuit breakers.
